Disclaimer (I know...):
This file is for informational purposes only. No use of this technique
is recommended for one of many reasons: 1) It makes other Phreaks & hacks
very upset, 2) It makes the Telco VERY upset, and you could be put away for
a LONG time if you dont know what youre doing. Telco employees could learn
something from the Copper Box. Well, anyway, off we go....
Purpose:
This box can destroy a phone company, no matter how big. You could bring
AT&T down to their knees! Only to be used by the most irate of Phracks,
it is intended for informational purposes only.
History:
This is really not a Box, but if you consider a Cheese Box a Box, then it
is. It was first concieved back in 1986 when a Phriend and I came up with
the idea while using a Copper-coloured fone, hence, a Copper Box.
Instructions:
You must obtain [1] extender, or phone company port, like an MCI or SPRINT
access number. [2] A hell of a lot of nerve, and vendetta towards the phone
company (phriend gets busted, rates increase, etc.) [3] a computer & modem
capable of autodialing [tone.]
Dial the number of the L/D service, then enter the code. Dial the number of
the service again, through the outdial number you are still on, enter code,
then dial again and again. You should hear, after a while (it will take a
long time for BIG companies) a slight high-pitched, unstable tone, that grows
louder and louder w/every dial. Once it gets so loud that it refuses to let
in any more sounds, you have just completed the first cycle of the Copper Box.
Leave line off-hook for about 10 minutes or until the tone seems to calm
down, or stop completely. Then, dial again and repeat over and over again
until when you dial a last time, it [the port] doesnt answer. You have just
killed a telephone company, extender, etc.
Theory of Operation:
What happens is that when the tone begins to rise, it is a result of cross-
talk feedback. The more you dial, the more it grows. In systems like these,
the small, sensitive equipment such as amplifiers, etc. begin to burn out as
a result of the feedback, damaging the equipment, and possibly starting a fire
at the location of the equipment.
